Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (movie)

The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …

The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …

A Roman Holiday (1953)

Movie I know who killed me
Whenever I read a tabloid article about Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drunk driving or entering re-hab, I can’t help but be saddened. That’s because, for all the negative publicity she receives, she is actually not that bad of an actress.

Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

Delgo Movie

Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
